Joe Blackburn and Mr.. Lincoln,

From the Chicago News.
Senator Joe Blackburn tells n story
OF Abraham Lincoln that was never
printed before. He says "When !
was nineteen years OF age located in
Chicago, and commenced the practice
of law. One OF my first cases was in
the United States court, which was
presided over by Justice Mclean
of the United States supreme court
and Judge Drummend OF the Illinois
circuit, The opposing counsel was
Isaac n. Arnold, then at the head OF
the Chicago bar. had filed de-
murrer to Mr.. Arnold's pleadings
in the cause, and when the
case was reached on the
calender was quite nervous at hav-

large number of lawyers in the court

Dear Sir-Why don't you get a GER

of drunkenness by the help of Hop Bit
tiers. Ills is wonderful case. He is

THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS.

THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS.
When the State or city Legislative
bodies enact law, the officer whose
duty.it is TO enforce it has no other al
tentative except possibly to resign. A
law designed to prohibit specified o.
tense should be enforced to the extent
of prohibition, or else some officials
are not doing their duty. Public Off
Gals whose duty is to enforce the will
of the State or city as expressed in
its laws, have no discretion in the mat
ter; it is not their right TO change n
prohlbitory low into license by a
system of law fines, but the fines
should be made higher and heavier
for each repetition of the
offense. The State and city
authorities have passed laws prohibit
ing what are commonly known as
variety theaters and the transaction of
ordinary business on Sundays, and
tire HERALD hopes to be able to re-
port q strict and impartial enforce
ment of these laws. There is a senti-
ment against them, but whatever may
be said as to their propriety or injus-
tice, a majority of the people through
their representations have said they
want them. The laws exist and should
be enforced
The HERALD will not be alone in
applauding Mayor Brown for his
prompt decision or the intricate cases
against the proprietor of the variety
theatre; and as well as for emphasis
giving his verdict in the size Of the
fine as in his promptncss. Assistant
City Attorney Obcnchan prosecuted
the case, and did it well. There are
other cases now under advisement
about twenty days with Acting Mayor
Tom Brown.
The acting mayor has not hereto
fore been regarded as timid man in
the discharge of duty; and yet he has
for so long time withheld his opin-
ion on these cases which are to the
observer clear cases of violation Of
law. Liquor was actually sold in room
in connection with the theatre, and
sold by employees or partners in the
business. 1t is, TO say the least, a bold
at evasion of the law. Acting
Mayor Brown is candidate for re-
corder, and this is just such cases as he
would in that capacity be called upon
TO hear and determine, and that gen
tleman cannot blame the public if 1t
draws differences that might have
tendency to weaken his cause, when he
hears a case of as much interest and
importance as this one and carries 1t
around in his pocket for two or three
weeks. Ordinarily Alderman Brown,
when acting as mayor or as alderman,
has acted with promptness and de-
cision, but
The HERALD hopes soon to be able
TO report Mr.. Browns decision in this
matter.

support the enforcement of 1t, prohibition
